Ok, so I've been here in Sydney,Australia attending the Hillsong Conference with some of the Campus Pastor for the last few days and all I can say is "WOW". This has been one of the most amazing trips of my life. I haven't been out of the country much and I don't attend many conference's but I don't believe that can get much better than this. We started out by attending church at the Hillsong

I took this pic of my son last Friday while he was helping us with our widows lawn care. We cut about 20 yards each week of some of the widows in our community. It's really a cool ministry & these precious ladies really appretiate it.My son really wanted to help & I wasn't about to put a weed eater in his hands so I put this blower on him. He did good for a while but end the end the blower was

Ok so I've been on a reading kick lately. I love my Word but I have never been one to just devour books left and right but for whatever reason I have been reading more than normal. Started off with a book by Craig Groeschel entitled "it". Great book! Now I've been reading a book by Francis Chan entitled "Crazy Love". This book is challenging me like never before. I am being dealt with in just

What an awesome oppurtunity! We had the great honor of hosting about 30 precious women this past Friday for a luncheon. These are a few of our widows in St.Francisville that we are so blessed to get to spend time with. We started our widows ministry a little over a year ago with two ladies in our own congregation. It has grown to over 40 ladies that we minister too. We cut grass & clean yards all

Had the great pleasure of takin my son on his first ever water outreach. In the month of October Angola State Prison holds a world famous rodeo that is second to none. It draws people from all over the country and every walk of life. Well let me just say that there are HUGE crowds of folks each Sunday that this event takes place. The rodeo ends at 4 and some people don't get out of the traffic

Well we've been being entertained at the Straight residence by the youngest of the clan. My daughter Brooke has been on a roll for the last few days with just doin some crazy songs and dances. She is full of surprises and a character in her own right. I think she gets it from her mother(yea right).

He actually played his first game today and his team came back from 0-2 to win 5-2 in the second half. He continues to excell in school and impress his mother and I. Oh and he will one day compete on the national level in video

Been at my dads for the last few days doin a little deer huntin with a good friend of mine. There's something about being in a tree before daylight and watchin the sun come up over the tops of the young pine trees. Some folks would think it's insane gettin up early in the morning to go and sit in a deer stand and wait. Maybe a deer will come or maybe it won't. For me it's not just about the deer.

This is the view that I am blessed with every day to do my quiet time. Don't be mad!I have been meditating on a certain passage of scripture for the last week and wanted to share it!In Mark 4:18-19 it talks about the seed that fell among the thorns. Here's what came to mind. The ground was good ground. If it wasn't then the thorns wouldn't have grown in it. The problem is that the thorns were not

These are some pics from the Saturday night Amplified service at our Highland Campus. Amplified is a weekend discipleship that we do with our Jr and Sr High students. It is a major event for our student ministries. This weekend was even bigger because of a live recording for our first ever student min. CD.

Been spending a lot of time lately reading and rereading two stories in the Word. The first is the story of the Roman soldier in Matt. 8 that came to Jesus on behalf of one of his servant girls. She was sick to the point of death and he was so concerned for her life that he came to Christ to ask for HIS help. The thing is that when Christ said that He would follow him to his house ,the man said

He killed it with a bow and arrow as well. Many folks go a lifetime and don't get the chance to do this and he did it in only two seasons. I think it's because of the great training he received but

Took this great pic of an amazing young lady in our church(ok so it's my daughter). She was watching our team after church doing the tear down and just jumped right in. I didn't have to prompt her or anything she just took action and went for it. Reminded me that this is how the Lord wants us to be as well. He is lookin for people of action not people who have to be asked. Just a thought.

Ok so it's been a while since I've blogged but there's good reason. I've been in the RioGrande National Forrest in Colorado on an elk hunt with some friends. It was a first for me and I must say it was a trip of highs and lows. I experienced the best and worst of hunting elk. Didn't get an elk but still enjoyed myself.One thing I can say is that the Lord really spoke some strong stuff in my life.

I'd like to take this moment to welcome a new addition to our family. My wife and I went last night to pick up Molly(Brooke & Austins name for the dog). She is a seven week old Basset Hound. With the porch at our house it just seemed like a perfect fit to have a 'Porch' dog. To be quite honest with you I have wanted one of these dogs for a long time. The kids are very excited about their new pet.

You ever had days like this. I took this pic of my daughter on Sunday after we got home from church. I stopped by to get her Happy Meal and when we got home I sat her down at the table to get her grub on. Instead she got her sleep on. I had my back to her and was reading the paper. When I didn't hear her singing as she ate like she normally does I turned to see what she was doing and this is what

Took these photos over the weekend at one of our youth's surprise birthday party. At the end of the party a mud fight ,wrestling match, what ever you want to call it broke out. When the smoke, I mean mud cleared three were completely covered in some fresh wet earth. We had a blast watching it all unfold, except for the home owner who had just fixed the spot where all the action took place. See if

This was the seen this morning off of my front porch. I am truely blessed that I get to have this view in the morning. Something the Lord spoke to me this morning. I spoke to a friend last night who had recently lost a loved one. Right now things look dark and rough. There are time like this in all of our lives when we face some pretty difficult times. Accusations, financial troubles, marriage

We had a very full Friday this past week as God gave us some great oppurtunity's to serve some people. First thing was a breakfast for all of the faculty and staff of West Feliciana School System. We asked if we could serve breakfast for them to welcome them back from summer break. About 250 teachers, lunch room workers,janitors, office personel and others were in attendance. We had a great

I haven't fished for about 9 yrs. When I was building pools for a living I was to busy during the summer to go fishing and when I got on staff at HPC I just never got back into it. When my wife and I moved into our new house recently it had a couple of ponds on it so I went and bought a cuple of rods and reels. My son and I have really enjoyed the afternoons fishing together as well as my little

This is the greatest serve team on the planet. We met at the office on Saturday morning in St.Francisville for an outreach for the widows and post office. Twenty-two hard working and careing volunteers split up into 4 teams. Two teams cut 18 yards. One team cleaned 4 homes inside and one team distributed food and prayed for all of the widows. Our Cooking For Christ whipped up some slammin shrimp

I had the distinct pleasure to participate in a very unique service this past Sunday. I was asked to sing a couple of songs for Pastor George Bosewell of Leesville,La. He is the father of my step-mother. He has been in full time ministry for over 50 yrs. and has pastored the same church for over 30 yrs. That's almost unheard of in this day and age where most move on to ' bigger and better things'

This has got to be one of the best places to eat. It is one of my top 3 no doubt. Now some would go the Ruth's Chris route or maybe some other fancy place but there's nothing, in my opinion, like a good home cooked meal and this is as close as it gets. I had a meeting last night with our Refuge, St.Francisville leaders and this was the place of choice. It's actually how I knew we had the right

I was studying my notes this morning and opened up my PC Study Bible on my PC and it has a devo for the day. All I can say is Spurgeon has totally got it goin on. This spoke to me HUGELY and I hope it does the same for you:July 15th AM"The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out."Leviticus 6:13Keep the altar of private prayer burning. This is the very life of all piety.

My boy Eddie did a blog last week about our sound guy catching some z's. Well this is my ode to Eddie. I believe that Eddie could sleep any where at any time. I have had to repeat directions to him on many occasions because of his sleeping while I drive. I will give it to him though when he is awake he is a work horse. You the man Edro.

Well it's been a while since my last blog but I have a great excuse. My wife and I recently moved into a new house. I have to say that I never thought we'd be in a house such as this. I've often thought of what the perfect place would be and I have to say this is excactly what I've pictured. Cypress house with a pond in the front yard and a wrap around porch. The porch has become my favorite spot

What a time I had the other day on my daughters short but first boat ride. They are in the process of building a bridge across the Mississippi River to connect St. Francisville to New Roads. For years the only means of getting across was to either drive 20 miles south and cross the bridge in BR or take the old reliable(joke) ferry. We went to help someone move in New Roads and decided to take

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to the Kids Link Crew for a job well done. They hosted our first summer camp for the St.Francisville Campus and it was a huge success. My son is wanting to know when he can go back. We had over 40 kids take over the grounds of Desert Plantation for some swimming,slip-n-slide,4 wheelin, water gunnin and loads of other fun. More than that was the night services

Man, what can I say? It was an eye opening experience for me and some great servants. I got the great oppurtunity this morning to go and serve at our Bridge Campus this morning. This is a great campus started by Jason Laird(aka Dr.Tweez). It is our homeless outreach that takes place on Thursday mornings near the VOA building on Florida Bvld. Our team serve a hot breakfast to many of the homeless

This may not be an accurate dipiction of the actual altar that the prophet Elijah used to make his point with the prophets of Baal but it will be the one that I use for this. I was sharing this story at the Pathfuge event last Sunday night with our junior and senior high students when there was a specific passage that stood out to me while I was reading it. It was not part of what I was

What more can I say other than WOW! We had our 3rd Mens and Womens gathering on Wednesday night and I was totally taken back. We have done this event at another location before and the most we had was 52. Well we had 54 sign up on Sunday morning and to be honest with you I wasn't expecting many more. We put a RSVP by noon Tuesday and even by then we had only a total of 58. Well in true HPC

Just wanted to give a little shout out to my Pirates of the Caribbean crew. We loaded up the vehicles on Friday night and headed to the new Rave Motion Picture theater at the Mall of Louisiana. About 17 people from the greater St.Franny area converged on the place to watch Captain Jack Sparrow and to see what great adventure he would journey on and what comical remarks he would make. Great movie

Had a great oppurtunity to reconnect with and old friend of mine on Monday as well as get the chance to do something I haven't done in a while. My mother-in-law recently had to let her pool installer go and needed me to help put a pool in for her. This is what I did before coming on staff at HPC.

Pastor Gimore is a great friend of mine and awesome servant of the Lord who pastors a church in West Feliciana.

God is really using him in a powerful way these days. He is the worship leader for Refuge High School Service as well as the Annex worship leader. He is also very involved at our Highland Rd Campus in many ways. He and his wife

This has to go down as one of the greatest weekends ever. From Friday till today all went extremely well. Started out on Friday with widows ministry where we cut 5 yards and feed 10 widows. These ladies are just a pleasure to serve and to listen to their stories are strengthening to my faith. Friday night I had the great pleasure(not really) of sitting in a dunkin booth for the Relay for Life

Just got back home from Austin,Tx. where I attended the ARC Conference(Association of Related Churchs). It was a much needed time for me. This is the group that our church is connected with and Pastor Dino serves on the board of. I loved the fellowship of the pastors there as well as hearing what the Lord is doing in the other great churches around the country. Several pastors shared throughout

Well our second week of widows ministry was a little more productive than our first week. Last week we started our widows ministry in St.Francisville and ran into some snags. We had intended on cutting some grass and bringing lunch to about 8 ladies. Well lunch was delivered but the grass didn't get the proper grooming that we intended. Our equipment malfunctioned for unknown reasons. We have a

We had some tremendous altar time with lives being touched in a real and tangable way. Just a sweet time. Then we had a little mens gathering at Desert Plantation with the guys bringing their kids out for a little outdoor

Well we can't say we haven't been tryin. This is my boy J-Dawg all out in the camo. He is a killer in every means of the word. We tried last week to kill a turkey and gave it another shot this week. Well let me just say it's a good thing that we love being out in nature and enjoy the fellowship. We do a pretty good job of locating the old toms but when daylight breaks they seem to get a case of

Man what an awesome night last night. I had the distinct pleasure of being able to marry Eddie and Meagan Guerra. This is a couple of young people that I've been able to know for quite a few years as we have served together in student ministry and now at the St.Francisville Campus. Eddie is on staff ministering to our Jr.High students and taking care of a lot of office and tech stuff. Meagan is

This is a group of troppers right here if there ever were any. These are the men and women of the Dream Center Campus in Donaldsonville,La. They ar led by Pastor Mark Stermer(who is laid up on his couch right now with four broken ribs and a punctured lung due to being bucked off a horse). They started about 2 months ago a ministry to the widows in community. Not just those in the church there but

Just sittin here thinkin about our Refuge service last night at the Magnolia Cafe'. Refuge is our high school ministry. We have changed up the format for how we are doin things by going to Life Groups for the first three Sunday nights and then doing a blow out service for the last Sunday night of the month. We had 30 students show up last night with 15 leaaders assisting. Great atmosphere and

Well it's gettin close. That's right...It's almost Turkey season. In just a few days I will get up before daylight. I'll slip into the woods while the birds have just started to chirp. I'll ease down and old dirt road where the tall pines and the big oaks are. I'll slowly make my way to where this old creek crosses the road. About 100 yards from that creek I'll slip my hand into my turkey vest

Man what a full day and a first for me. I had the great oppurtunity of officiating two weddings today and let me say I was truely blessed.The first wedding was that of Joshua and Ginger Roy(Lower Pic). A great couple in our St.Francisville Campus. I have been knowing them for about a year now and have seen them both grow in the Lord. They are a blessing to be around and I enjoy having them in our

We had a great night tonight as we kicked off our mens minstry here in St.Francisville. We started the night off with some outstanding food that was prepared by one of our own ladies in the church(You know who you are). This is a must for when men gather. Then we gave each man a 'Kingdom Men' towel. Afterwards I shared out of John 2 when Jesus cleared out the temple before the passover. It says

Just got through watching Pastor Ed Young of Fellowship Church in Dallas. He spoke a great message on Value. He made a tremendous statement that went this way'You are not loved because you are valuable but you are valuable because you are loved by the God of the universe.' Man, let that soak into your head and heart for a minute. You are valuable because you are loved by God. That means that

You probably can't really tell but there is a brite young man in the middle of this crowd picture holding a certificate. It is for making the A Honor Roll. The only one in his class! Yes that is my son and yes he does take after.......his mother. I was a very proud parent as I watched my son receive this award. It is something they do every six weeks at his school.

Well what can I say that would even come close to explaining tonights One Way service? Amazing? Awesome? Outstanding? No I think the word would be 'Challenging!' It started with Pastor Johnny Green letting us know that we are 40 days away from Easter and that we needed to pray and seek the face of God for the harvest that will come to Him. Then we had a brother from the Dream Center in California

This picture says a lot ! My wife and I were having a great time sitting in the kitchen talking about the day and all the happenings that took place. All of a sudden out of no where we were hit by an all to familiar smell. As we turned around our beautiful daughter was smiling and telling us what we already knew 'I got poo poo'. Now here is the thing, this is just how things happen in our lives.

These are some brand new pics of the work being done on the new sancuary at our Highland Rd. Campus. What's happening in these photos is the drilling of over 320 foundation pillars. They have to drill these holes where the beams for the sancuary will be. Once the beams are put up then the steel will begin to go up. All of the steel structure will go up first and then the slab will be poured. The

Well I'm just about back to normal(whatever that is). I've been in the house for the last few days recovering from a flu like virus and man am I glad. My children have been the bulk of my entertainment as you can see from the pics. My son put on some of my wifes old chains and was rapping/singing/dancing and just about anything else he could dream up. He tried to get my daughter in on it but she

Well I am sorry for not updating you guys but I've been a little side tracked the last few days with the flu. Still not 100 percent but I'm getting there. I don't get sick that often but when it does hit me it really packs a punch. I've pretty much been in the bed or on the couch. My lovely wife has been taking care of me and making sure that I get better soon. I think she's getting tired of

Man what a night. I got to spend an awesome evening with the greatest woman on the planet...MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE. We celebrated 14 years of marriage tonight with a great supper at J Alexanders restaurant then went and hung out together at Barnes & Nobles. We finished it off with a little Starbucks coffee. It is just great to get some time alone together and be able to talk without the kids

Had a good friend tell me one time that when the the congregation wants to show their appretiation to the Pastor they buy him something real nice or send he and his wife on a little get away or treat them out to a nice place to eat. When the youth want to show their appretiation to the youth pastor they roll his house or car with toilet paper. Well this must mean they really appretiate me. This

What a great time with our Refuge and Pathfinders group last night. We had a little Super Bowl party for our student ministries at the church office and over 40 youth showed up to watch the game,play some xbox, board games and to throw down some burgers and other food. It was a great night for fellowship and connection. I thank all of the leaders that helped out and made it a great win for our

I got to do something that very few people ever get the chance to do and maybe one of the biggest highlights of my life. Several months back my wife was tucking my son into bed and my son started asking questions about Jesus because of a story he had heard in Sunday school. He was very serious in his questions and curiosity. My wife answered them with the same seriousness as well as a sweetness

Well this was the last afternoon of deer season for this season. Here is a pic of the last afternoon in the woods. It ended up being pretty good. Although I didn't shoot anything I did watch a small doe feed about 15 yrds in front of me. I also saw two other deer feeding about 30 yrds away but couldn't see them clearly. I watched about 15 birds on the ground feeding and two bathing(It's ok they

Just finished our second week of Growing Kids Gods Way. We have about 27 adults in our first outing on this class and it is a must for parents or those wanting to be parents one day. So many great things in this class that can help parents become the parents God intends us to be. Jimmy and Lori have been through this class and have also taught it a few times. They do a great job together teaching

Just stop for a minute. I want you to think for one minute and ponder this question. Do you believe what the Bible says and do you really live your life by what it says? I know we say we do. As a matter of fact we will actually argue with some to try to prove that we do, but if we actually do we would not have to try to prove we do because our life would be enough evidence of it. Think, people

One of the great things I love about being a part of HPC staff our times for Staff Development. It is a time where all of our staff from all locations come together for worship and a teaching from Pastor Dino or another great leader. One if those such times occured this week. Lance LeBlanc and Jason Ryder led us in a time of worship that was rich in the Spirit and then Pastor Dino shared an

What an awesome night! We had our kick-off Mens/Womens Fellowship tonight and what a blast. We are changing a few things up this year with our mid-week services and we spent the night casting vision to the men and women about those changes. We started out the night with a little food(A must at HPC) then moved into a little fun activity. We had all the men and women find ten things on a list that

WOW! That's about the only way to describe this weekend and that doesn't even come close to telling it all. Our staff had a two day retreat where Pastor Dino cast vision to us for '07. All I can say is the Lord showed up in a big way and we got poured into greatly. It was also a time where we got to do an outreach at our new Baton Rouge Dream Center. What a God thing!

This pic is really speaking to me big time. It has now made it to my background on my computer. Check this out. The guy in the photo is who I've focused on for the last three days. After looking at it a couple of times the Lord asked me'What do you see'. Of course I say a man over looking a vast area. A man looking at a blue sky. A man very high on a mountain.

Just gettin things ready for early morning prayer week two. I was puttin on a pot of coffee and glanced back into the sanctuary where we meet for prayer and the Lord spoke to me and said 'In the stillness I am there' Now this was not some loud ringing voice from the Heavens, this was that still small voice that HE so often speaks in and it was like HE was telling me that HE's always here when we

Another Refuge service and another night hangin at Sonny's Pizza. This is our mainstay after service on Sunday night but what was real cool is that we met up with the Pathfinders leaders after their service where two J-High students gave their heart to Christ. What a reason to celebrate. We are so looking forward to what God is going to do in our student ministries in '07.

This is the picture that is on my phone right now. It actually came with the phone as one of the background photos but I have been meditating on it pretty hard over the last few days. It is exactly how I feel right now. God has been speaking to me in a real way about my future and what he wants to do with me and in me.
